2013 Hyundai Sonata complaints

THE STEERING IN THIS CAR IS FAULTY AND IT'S BECOMING DANGEROUS. I DON'T HAVE THE ISSUE EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT, BUT IT'S HAPPENING MORE OFTEN AS OF LATE. WHEN MAKING A RIGHT OR LEFT TURN THE CAR WILL OVER TURN (QUICKLY JERK) TOWARDS THE CURVE OR TOWARDS ONCOMING TRAFFIC EVEN WHEN SWITCHING LANES ON THE HIGHWAY IT DOES THIS AT TIMES. I'LL HAVE TO REGAIN CONTROL IN ORDER TO NOT HIT THE CAR NEXT TO ME. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE I BROUGHT THE CAR WHICH WAS TWO SUMMERS AGO. I WILL PUT THE DAY IT HAPPENED LAST BELOW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND FAILED TO RESPOND. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,000.

TAKATA RECALL WHEN I CUT ON MY HEAD LIGHTS SHORTY AFTER THAT MY REAR LIGHTS GO OUT AND THE ONLY ONES TO WORK ARE THE 3 BRAKE LIGHTS WHEN THE BRAKE IS PRESSED. I CAN CUT THE HEADLIGHTS OFF THEN ON AGAIN AND IT DOES THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER. CAR IS STATIONARY. I WAS DRIVING TO WORK THE OTHER MORNING IN THE DARK AND WHEN I PULLED OUT OF DRIVEWAY EVERYTHING WORKED GOT DOWN THE ROAD AND THE ENTIRE REAR END QUIT WORKING EXCEPT THE BRAKE LIGHTS. I PUT ON MY RIGHT TURN SIGNAL AND MY LICENSE PLATE BULBS STARTED BLINKING THEN SHORTY WENT OUT AFTER A MINUTE.

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AVOIDING AN ACCIDENT THE ENGINE SEIZED AND DIED ON THE FREEWAY. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THESE ENGINES HAVE A LOT OF PROBLEMS AND IT WAS CAUSED BY SHAVINGS OF METAL IN THE OIL PAN AND A BENT BEARING.

MY HYUNDAI SONATA 2013 STEERING COLUMN HAS ALWAYS MADE A CLUNK SOUND WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL, RECENTLY IT IS GETTING WORSE AND RAISES A CAUSE OF AWARENESS AS IT IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT APPARENTLY KEEPS BEING REPORTED ON THIS VEHICLE. TWO PERSONAL MECHANICS AND AUTONATION HAVE AD SAID IT IS THE MOST COMMON PROBLEM WITH MY TYPE OF VEHICLE. I AM AFRAID IT WILL LOCK ON ME WHILE DRIVING CAUSING AN ACCIDENT OF ANY KIND DUE TO NEGLIGENCE OF THE GOVERNED STANDARDS REQUIRED BY LAW TO PROTECT CONSUMERS VEHICLE PURCHASES. I DEEPLY REQUEST AND HIGHLY INSIST THE GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATE THE APPARENTLY MOST COMMON PROBLEM OF THIS VEHICLE BEFORE IT BECOMES SOMETHING TO HAUNT THE COMPANY IN REGRET.

SEVERE CLUNK FROM STEERING COLUMN. WHEN THE WHEEL IS INITIALLY TURNS, THERE IS A SHORT AMOUNT OF "PLAY" BEFORE A LOUD CLUNK CAN BE HEARD. THIS IS ALSO HEARD GOING OVER BUMPS. I FEEL THIS MAY BE SOMETHING COMING LOOSE AND CAN LEAD TO PROBLEMS WITH STEERING.

I HAVE NOW REPLACED THE HOUSING REAR BRAKE LIGHT UNIT 3 TIMES DUE TO SHORTING OUT. THE MOST RECENT SHORT HAS CAUSED THE HOUSING UNIT TO MELT CAUSING A REPLACEMENT OF JUST THE BULB NOT AN OPTION. THE TAG LIGHTS TURN OFF AND ON AND APPEAR SOMETIMES TO BE BURNT OUT. THIS IS ALSO A SHORT/WIRING ISSUE. THIS IS A HUGE CAUSE OF CONCERN FOR A TRUNK FIRE AS THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.

MY CAR WAS SHAKING, ENGINE MOUNTS MOVING AND VIBRATING.

MONTHS AGO I HAD A BURNED OUT TAIL LIGHT AND THOUGHT IT WAS THE PASSENGER SIDE - THE HOUSING WOULD NOT DISENGAGE FROM THE TAIL LIGHT - TURNED OUT IT WAS THE LEFT ONE, SO DIDN'T FOLLOW UP. THE RIGHT BULB BURNED OUT APPARENTLY TODAY - TOOK 30 MINUTES TO LOOSEN THE HOUSING TO FIND A BLACKENED BULB(ALWAYS LIKE THAT) AND THE BULB MELTED INTO THE HOUSING. THE BULB BASE WAS ADHERED TO THE HOUSING AND THE HOUSING CRACKED AND WILL NOT HOLD A BULB. TAKING TO DEALERSHIP FOR HOPEFUL WARRANTY REPLACEMENTS. ALL LIGHTS ON THIS CAR AND MY 2006 HAVE TO BE REPLACED EVERY SIX MONTHS OR SO - THIS IS A KNOWN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH SONATAS THAT HYUNDAI HAS NEVER ADDRESSED. MY LEFT FRONT LOW BEAM NEARLY EXPLODIED WHEN I REPLACED ITAND IT WAS TOO HOT TO EVEN TOUCH AND IS NOW DIM - THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THE LIGHTING WIRING IN THESE CARS AND AS THEY ARE A SAFETY ISSUE, AN INVESTIGATION AND RECALL IS APPROPRIATE. WORK ON THESE OARTS IS TOO EXPENSIVE AND GIVEN EVEN THE SMALL NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE - IT IS CLEAR THERE'S AN ISSUE - SINCE THE YEAR MODEL IS RELATIVELY NEW, PERHAPS MANY HAVE BEEN REPAIRED UNDER THE 50,000 MILE WARRANTY.I AM TAKING MY 60000 ,MILEAGE CAR TO WERNER HYUNDAI IN TALLAHASSEE AND FULLY EXPECT REPAIR OF BOTH TAIL LIGHTS UNDER THE 10 YEAR WARRANTY.

JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE OFF A LOT TWO DAYS AGO AND RAN A VIN TO SEE IF ITS ALL LEGIT AFTER I GET IT HOME. TWO RECALLS CAME UP AND ON ONE IT STATES NO REMEDY FOR THE SEAT BELTS AND NEITHER ONE HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF, WHERE DOES THIS LEAVE ME AT AND WHAT DO I NEED TO DO, I PAID CASH MONEY FOR THIS CAR AND ONLY TWO DAYS THIS SHOWS UP, CAN THE CAR DEALER BE HELD RESPONSIBLE?

I PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND TURN OFF IGNITION IT ONLY GOES TO ACC IT WILL NOT GO TO LOCK SO THE KEY CAN BE RELEASED. I HAD TO MOVE THE GEAR UP AND DOWN A FEW TIMES AND IT FINALLY WENT TO LOCK AND THE KEY RELEASED

MY ENGINE LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON AND STALLING AS IF IT DO NOT WANT TO GO, I REPORTED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID ITS NOTHING BUT A SENSOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I'M NOT SURE WHY THEY DID NOT REPLACE IT WHEN THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH MY ENGINE

SEVERE LOOSE PLAY & CLUNK IN STEERING COLUMN AND STEERING WHEEL. STEERING WHEEL SHAKING WHILE DRIVING & LOSS OF CONTROL AND TROUBLE STAYING IN LANE. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 4,200MI'S.

BOTH TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLIES PARTIALLY MELTED FROM THE BRAKE LIGHT BULB OVERHEATING. THE BRAKE LIGHT BULB ITSELF WAS MELTED AND FUSED INTO THE SOCKET HOUSING IT. THE SOCKET WAS BLACKENED FROM OVERHEATING. IT WAS THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE LEFT AND RIGHT TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY. I REPLACED BOTH TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLIES SINCE THE PLASTIC WAS PARTIALLY MELTED AND BECAME DEFORMED. THE ISSUE WAS LIKELY AN ONGOING PROBLEM WHILE THE CAR WAS PARKED AND IN MOTION. THERE MAY BE AN ELECTRICAL WIRING PROBLEM AS THE UNDERLYING CAUSE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING.

WITH THE HONDA SONATA THE DOOR LIGHTS WANT GO OFF ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND THE PASSENGER SIDE. WITH THIS PROBLEMS IN MIND I HAVE TO KEEP BUYING BATTERY BECAUSE IT KEEP KILLING THE BATTERY. I KEEP APPLYING TAPE ON THE KNOB TO KEEP THE LIGHT FROM STAYING ON BUT THAT'S NOT WORKING. I KNOW THIS IS A DEFECT BECAUSE ITS ON BOTH DOORS.

CAR SHAKES A LITTLE BIT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE PROBLEM IS A LOUD POPPING NOISE WHEN TURNING. TYPICALLY IN PARKING LOTS AT SLOWER SPEEDS. DO NOT HEAR THE POPPING WHEN DRIVING EVER. YOU CAN ALSO SIT IN THE CAR WITH THE CAR RUNNING, TURN THE WHEEL EITHER DIRECTION AND WHEN YOU TURN THE WHEEL BACK YOU CAN FEEL AND HEAR THE POPPING IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND CONTINUE GOING BACK AND FORTH PRODUCING THE POPPING NOISE AND VIBRATION WITH EVERY TURN OF THE WHEEL. HAD EVERYTHING CHECKED AT PRIVATE MECHANIC AND THE INNER TIE RODS WERE REPLACED. DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THE CAR HAD THE ENGINE REPLACED AT 90000 MILES RELATED TO ANOTHER RECALL. CHARGED ME 400 DOLLARS FOR A NEW STARTER AT THAT TIME WHEN NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE STARTER PRIOR TO THE ENGINE SEIZING. THE CAR NOW HAS 99900 MILES ON IT, BUT THE POPPING NOISE HAS BEEN PRESENT SINCE 94000 MILES. ONE MECHANIC SAYS IT IS RACK AND PINION ANOTHER IS SAYING EPS NEEDS REPLACED. I AM CALLING THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW BUT BOTH ARE COSTLY REPAIRS AND A SAFETY ISSUE. NOW THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT IS ON.

MY STEERING WHEELED LOCKED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I WAS TURNING TO THE RIGHT TO GET OVER AND ALL OF SUDDEN IT LOCKED WHILE GOING AT A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH. I WAS NOT ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL BEFORE I WRECKED. WHEN THE OFFICER ARRIVED ON SEEN HE COULD NOT MOVE THE CAR BECAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL WAS STILL LOCKED. SO HE HAD TO USE HIS CAR TO PUSH MY CAR OUT OF TRAFFICS WAY. THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGED DONE THEY WANT TO TOTAL THE CAR. ...UPDATED 10/17/17 *BF UPDATED 7/27/18*JB

ABOUT A WEEK AGO I WAS DRIVING HOME ON MY LUNCH BREAK AND WAS HEADING DOWN MAIN STREET IN SAUGUS, MA DRIVING ABOUT 35MPH.

THAT FOLLOWING WEEKEND, SAME THING HAPPENED PULLING OFF OF MY STREET, AND I COULDN'T STOP AT THE STOP SIGN, AND INSTEAD, SKIDDED DOWN THE HILL AND STOPPED ABOUT 2 FEET PASSED THE STOP SIGN.

THE LAST TIME I DROVE IT WAS THIS MONDAY, AND WHEN BRAKING, I COULDN'T STOP RIGHT AWAY, ABS KICKS IN, NO ILLUMINATION, AND MY HEART IN MY THROAT.
